"Wake up Von, Venedette's back and she's asking us for a brief meeting with her," Gem said while tapping Von's shoulder lightly but the boy wouldn't nudge.
"Hey, I know you're not yet asleep, come on." Gem tried to tap Von and even resorted to pushing him out of the sofa just so he would stop being so stubborn.
"What the- can't you see I'm trying to sleep here?" Von gnarled and stopped for a moment after opening his eyes and seeing Gem stood seriously in front of him.
"Aren't you going to join us?" Gem said seriously which made Von fold in shyness.
"I didn't say that," Von said and cleared his throat while fixing his posture from falling to the floor.
"Okay good," Gem said and left him alone in the living room with her arms still crossed and her eyebrows almost connecting to each other because of the stress of it all.
